Chapter 55: Tobias and Klose's Scheme
The revelry at Klose Manor is coming to an end, but even now there are still plenty of drunkards in the banquet hall trying to rely on their last pitiful little drink to overwhelm their opponents, and Rudolph is the best of them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I don't know when Rudolph and Edbede's father, Edward Sr., started drinking, it seems that Rudolph has the absolute upper hand by relying on his younger body, and is about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely crush the middle-aged man who is already crumbling on the other side. And Elise seemed to have drunk a lot at this time, and was standing with a group of Klose warriors cheering Rudolph and old Edward with a red face.
"Hahaha! I won! Rudolph gulped down the last bit of beer in his cup and put down the cup in his hand heavily, old Edward finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell on the grass next to him with a wow, and began to vomit loudly, seeing old Edward's embarrassed appearance, the surrounding soldiers let out a good-natured laugh.
"Damn it! Edbed, where did you die! Come and show Rudolph, this bastard boy, how good our family is! Old Edward, who vomited the filth in his stomach amid the gloating coaxing of the surrounding crowd, recovered a little, but even if he was not convinced, he didn't dare to go up and continue to be embarrassed, so old Edward wanted to find his son back to help him find a place to get back.
"Huhuhu... But poor old Edward was obviously about to miscalculate, although his son Edbed was a good fighter, but obviously not so good at the wine table, when old Edward finally remembered to find his son to support him, Edbed no longer knew who had poured him down, and was now lying on a certain wooden bench and snoring and sleeping.
"Alright, Rudolph little bunny, next time we'll fight!" After shouting twice, old Edward finally realized that their family had been killed today, but the loser did not lose the battle, and the old Edward continued to shout for the next battle with Rudolph while walking to the table next time.
"Hahahaha, old Uncle Edward! You've never beaten me at the wine table!! Rudolph naturally laughed back unconcernedly, for people like them, this kind of joke was not a problem at all.
"Come on, come on, Rudolph, let's compare, I can't win swordsmanship, but I'm not afraid of drinking." Before Rudolph's triumphant mockery fell, a voice that made his face pale came, and it was Otto who spoke.
I saw Otto come to Rudolph with a wicked smile on his face and a clay pot full of beer in his hand, and then put the beer can on the table in front of Rudolph, and seeing the resumption of the war, the surrounding soldiers immediately became excited again, and loudly clamored for Rudolph to accept the challenge.
“。。。。。。。。。。 Come on! Who's afraid of whom! "Rudolph knows his own business, he has challenged several people in succession, and now he has a feeling of reaching the limit, and now that Otto has come to him, Rudolph has a premonition that the evening is not guaranteed. You must know that Otto is also a master of the drinking field in Memleben, and he is also the highest kind, and sometimes some things are really talented, and they can't be compared.
"Aha If you're not afraid, it's full! Otto laughed and snuffed away the last bit of Rudolph's desire to steal and play tricks, and helped Rudolph fill the glass with wine, and it was really full, full without any foam at all.
"Rudolph, go away! If His Royal Highness Otto is so interested, I will accompany you to drink! As Rudolph was about to fight Otto to the death with an expression of imminent justice, a female voice interrupted Rudolph's movements.
Elise stepped forward and pushed Rudolph away very domineeringly, then snatched the cup from Rudolph's hand, and looked at Otto with a defiant expression, knowing that the person who spoke just now was her.
"Oh~~~~ Of course you can, hahahaha." Otto naturally didn't care who drank with him, and he could see such a pleasant interaction, and an elongated tail note fully explained the dirty thoughts in Otto's mind.
"Hahaha." The people around also reacted after hearing such an obvious hint from Otto, and let out the same laughter at the right time, as the warriors of the Klose family, they don't think about the relationship between Denmark and East Francia, or the terrible Harald Great Demon King, for them, Lord Herman's eldest son Rudolph and Lord Herman's apprentice Elise are naturally the most suitable pair.
"Oh, you're big, you can't drink yet!" After hearing the reaction of the people around her, Elise didn't know what she was thinking, so she turned her head and glanced at Rudolph, and then said to Otto angrily.
"Good, good. Drink drink drink. Otto laughed breathlessly and drank his share of beer first.
"Hehe, I don't know if we can be so happy together in the future." In the distance, Caroline quietly watched this beautiful scene, and sighed heavily.

The lively afterglow of Klose Manor did not affect Herman's study, which was always thick and serious in Caroland's impression. After Carolan left the study, Herman and Michael who remained in the room did not speak, but began to play the chess invented by Carolan as if they were full of preoccupation.
"Aha Michael burst out laughing, and then laughed and trampled Herman's king with his own knight.
“。。。。。。。。。。。。 You fouled, not like that. After a long silence, Herman waited for Michael to finish laughing before he spoke out slowly, and then pushed Michael's knight away and put him back into his own king.
"Uh... I remember it like this. Michael's smile froze, and it took a long time for him to speak, but after this time Michael had no intention of continuing the game, he simply stood up and walked to the window in thought.
"Is it really the right thing for us to do?" Michael stood quietly at the window and watched the still lively crowd in the inner courtyard of the manor, but the high spirits outside seemed like another world's thing, and did not interfere with the heavy atmosphere in Herman's study.
"There is nothing right or wrong, if it were just the two of us, what would I do if I gave up everything, but we are also a father, His Majesty Henry can understand." Herman's hoarse voice sounded, and he didn't know if he was trying to convince Michael or himself.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Torres's bastard boy bent on being the shepherd of the Lord, how could Lao Tzu's family be cheap to your Carolan." Michael didn't know what to think, and suddenly burst into a rage, with a stinky face of a good cabbage being arched by a pig.
“。。。 Caroline was a good boy and wouldn't treat Diana badly. Looking at his old friend's flushed face, Herman had to comfort him with kind words, no matter what, Michael did let Carolan pick up a big bargain.
"Hmph,,,, when Torres's mother was with me, I was a second son with nothing, tossing around with caravans every day, and as a result, I was often looked down upon." Michael seemed to be caught up in some kind of memory, and Herman listened in silence, and to be honest, he was also taken aback when he learned of Michael's intentions. "But she married me so resolutely, and I was determined to give her happiness. Later, with the help of my brother, I was able to earn a piece of the family business, but when I was about to go to Rome to ask for a permit for her to witness our holy marriage, the Magyars came, and they cut off all the roads from Saxony to Italy, and when the Magyars were gone, before the men I had sent to ask for the permit returned, a plague took the lives of my brother, my father, and her, leaving only her and my child, Torres. ”
Michael took a deep breath before continuing: "I kept it a secret from everyone, pretending that Torres was born after I got my permit, but I didn't expect that in the end he would want to give up everything to become a priest. ”
",,,,," Herman didn't know what to say, and if Rudolph was going to become a priest, it was estimated that Herman would be able to kill Rudolph alive.
"But it's okay, His Majesty Henry is getting stronger and stronger, and now he has his eyes on our land in Saxony, your family will definitely stay away from the royal core after focusing on Blaneybell, but when the two of us die, our two families will become one, with your development in Blaneybell and the Tobias family's background in Saxony, even if the future trend is good, we will not be eliminated." Michael quickly said his calculations with a pale face, it turned out that he and Herman were so entangled because they found that the royal family was too strong, and they had to plan for their children in advance.
"Well, His Majesty Henry has also thought about us old fellows." Herman listened quietly to Michael's words, and then sighed helplessly, if he hadn't smelled some bad smells, he wouldn't have concealed such a deep alliance between Henry and Michael.
"Well, well, get ready to plan your move at Blaneybell, and if you capsize there, see how you end up," Michael didn't seem to be in a better mood after saying this, and after a while, he left Hermann's study with a distraught word.
"Hey, the storm is coming." Herman sighed alone in his study, and went to the window as well, and was silent as Rudolph and Caroline were carried back to their rooms.
